Bakayoko: Monaco can challenge PSG... because Zlatan is gone

The 22-year-old has big expectations for this season. He hopes to beat PSG and thinks, that they have quite good chances. Their topstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic left PSG this summer for Manchester United. The 34-year-old won't help the club any longer to keep their successful times.

The youngster hopes to finish in the top of the league and to get closer to their rival PSG. He supposes that the team will change without the Swede and that their chances of winning increased.

He told goal: "Without Ibra, perhaps this is not the same team. While Cavani is one of the best strikers in the world, I think rivals are more confident and are convinced they can win. When Ibra is there, you know that it will be difficult, that you must not leave a single centimetre".

The Frenchman wants to show his talent and keep growing. "I'm 22 and it's time to show what I can do. I really aim to bring big performances in this competition as Bernardo [Silva], Yannick [Ferreira Carrasco], Geoffrey [Kondogbia] or others were able to do two years ago. I'm a player that does not get talked about much, although that could change this time. I do not think the gap is so big to get there".
